GREEN BAY, Wis. — Green Bay Packers fans are renowned for traveling well to road games from coast to coast.

Getting more of the same this Sunday, when Green Bay plays about 300 miles to the west at NFC North rival Minnesota, would be ideal for the Packers. They are all about having — and taking advantage of — the comforts of home.

Fresh off a fourth consecutive victory of at least three touchdowns at Lambeau Field, the Packers hit the road for the first time in nearly a month. The matchup with the Vikings at TCF Bank Stadium is the only diversion from Lambeau for Green Bay in a five-game stretch.

“The formula to get to the playoffs is always to win your home games and try to play .500 or better on the road,” Packers coach Mike McCarthy said. “We have a great home-field advantage, probably the best in football. It’s a special place to play. Obviously, we enjoy playing here. This is our element (when the weather turns cold and snowy), this is where we live, this is where we train, so we’re obviously comfortable.”

More so than in any recent season, it would seem.

By subduing the NFC East-leading Philadelphia Eagles 53-20 Sunday, the Packers (7-3) improved to 5-0 at home and jumped into a first-place tie with the Detroit Lions in the NFC North.

Coupled with a 55-14 rout of the Chicago Bears the previous week at Lambeau, Green Bay scored 50 points in back-to-back games for the first time in the team’s illustrious history. The feat was accomplished for the fifth time in NFL history.

“This was important to gauge where we’re at, playing against a top-tier team who’s leading a division to see how we match up against a good team like that,” quarterback Aaron Rodgers said after continuing his torrid run by throwing for 341 yards and three touchdowns before exiting Sunday’s knockout of the Eagles in the fourth quarter.

Referencing the Packers’ preceding home-game blowouts of 42-10 over Minnesota, 38-17 over Carolina and the 41-point beat-down of the Bears, Rodgers added, “This was the kind of win we needed to remind ourselves and our fans and the league that we are a good football team and it’s tough to play here.”

The Packers gained a lot of steam since going into their Week 9 bye with a 21-point loss at the New Orleans Saints in late October. Still, their quest for a fourth consecutive division title may hinge on continued dominance at home.

Green Bay will be back at Lambeau for back-to-back games against the AFC East-leading New England Patriots on Nov. 30 and a Monday night meeting with the NFC South co-leading Atlanta Falcons on Dec. 8. The Packers end the regular season by hosting the Lions on Dec. 28.

To be determined is whether Green Bay can continue its home-field mojo of the last four times out at Lambeau, where the lopsided wins were fueled in the early stages of those games. The Packers outscored the opposition by staggering aggregate numbers of 66-0 in the first quarter and 128-9 in the first half.

“I think we’re very comfortable playing here,” right tackle Bryan Bulaga said. “Obviously, it’s home field, but I think it’s getting out to a fast start, getting points on the board, and that gives the defense a green light to get after it when we put points up on the board. When they’re attacking, they’re very good — our defense.”

While Rodgers has an outrageous passer rating of 138.1 with 18 touchdown passes and zero interceptions in Green Bay’s five home games, the Lambeau laughers the past two weeks included big contributions from the defense and special teams as well.

On Sunday, Micah Hyde had a 75-yard punt return for a touchdown to put the Packers ahead 17-0 in the first quarter. Green Bay padded a 30-6 halftime lead against the Eagles in the second half with a 52-interception return for a touchdown by veteran linebacker Julius Peppers and a 49-yard fumble return from cornerback Casey Hayward to the end zone.

“This thing is working well together — the offense putting up points, the defense getting stops,” Peppers said. “Everybody is playing balanced football. That’s how you win games.”

REPORT CARD VS. EAGLES

–PASSING OFFENSE: A-minus — QB Aaron Rodgers’ candidacy for his second league MVP award was emboldened by his latest can-do-no-wrong performance at Lambeau Field. A week removed from torching the visiting Chicago Bears for six touchdown passes in just the first half, Rodgers brought NFC East-leading Philadelphia quickly down to earth by throwing for 279 yards and two touchdowns in the opening two quarters the Packers bolted to a 30-3 lead en route to Green Bay’s unprecedented second straight outing of 50-plus points. Before giving way to backup Matt Flynn in the fourth quarter, Rodgers went 22 of 36 for 341 yards and three touchdowns with no interceptions for a 120.3 passer rating.

–RUSHING OFFENSE: B-minus — The Packers eclipsed 100 rushing yards for the fifth time in six games after going 0-for-4 in their pursuit of the century the first month of the season. Almost a third of Sunday’s output of 110 yards came on a pair of scrambles by Rodgers that each went for 16 yards. Those were Green Bay’s longest run plays until RB Eddie Lacy, who managed only 21 yards in seven carries with a 1-yard touchdown in the first half, busted loose off left tackle for 37 yards late in the third quarter. Lacy finished with a gaudy average of 6.9 yards on a season-low 10 carries. Lacy’s primary understudy, James Starks, didn’t contribute until the second half but was ineffective with 9 yards on eight rushing attempts.

–PASS DEFENSE: B — A defense that made amends the last two times out since the debacle in a 44-23 loss to Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints kept the high-flying Eagles out of the end zone for nearly the first three quarters. It also matched Philadelphia’s two insignificant touchdowns late in the game. OLB Julius Peppers dropped back into coverage to easily snag an ill-advised short pass over the middle from QB Mark Sanchez and return it 52 yards for the veteran standout’s second “pick six” of the season. Later in the second half, CB Casey Hayward picked up the football after a mishandled shotgun snap by Sanchez and raced the other way 49 yards for his second defensive touchdown in as many weeks. The Packers harassed Sanchez early in the game with three sacks.

–RUSH DEFENSE: B-plus — The overwhelmed Eagles were in such a huge hole on the scoreboard early in the game that they all but had to abandon running the football. Hence, featured back LeSean McCoy was a nonfactor in the first half with 34 yards on 11 carries — he had only one run of more than 5 yards. He finished with 88 yards on 23 carries.

–SPECIAL TEAMS: C — The special teams units can thank DB Micah Hyde saving them some face in an otherwise brutal outing. Hyde all but put Philadelphia away with a 75-yard punt return for a touchdown that started up the middle to stretch Green Bay’s lead to 17-0 late in the first quarter. Otherwise, P Tim Masthay bungled the snap from Brett Goode on what would have been an extra-point kick by Mason Crosby; another extra point went awry on a block of Crosby’s kick. Crosby, who earlier connected on two short field goals, missed wide right on a 50-yard try in frigid conditions. Then Masthay had a punt blocked for the second time this season.

–COACHING: B — Coach Mike McCarthy isn’t messing with a good thing and, thus, Lacy, who doesn’t have more than 17 carries in a game this season, is taking a backseat as a rusher as Green Bay pushes the envelope by throwing the football at will and rolling up the points. Scrutinized defensive coordinator Dom Capers is getting his legion of critics to give some credit for pushing the right buttons the last couple games by making the move with Clay Matthews to inside linebacker on early downs and putting more playmakers on the field. This week’s target for the naysayers is special teams coordinator Shawn Slocum. The multitude of miscues in that third, but no less vital, phase could have been costly had the score Sunday been remotely close.
